SETUP FOR CUSTOM
AND MULTI-ZONE INSTALLATIONS
REMOTE CONTROL CODES
The NAD C420 has a remote control command receiver built in so
it will respond to NAD remote control commands, such as from
most NAD system remote controls (RC450, RC451, S70; not
supplied with C420). This will allow access to basic functions
such as preset up/down, On/Stand-by.
Particularly with Custom Install in mind, the NAD C420 will
respond to other commands not usually found on NAD remote
control handsets. The table below indicates all commands the
C420 recognises.
The NAD C420 uses the NEC format for IR transmission; customer
code is 877C, the corresponding hex codes are next to the IR
command:

1 Preset D2
Preset D1
2 Search 87
Search 86
3 Tune D4

Preset 4 94
Preset 5 8B
Preset 6 8F
Preset 7 93
Preset 8 97
Preset 9 98

1) Preset and scroll trough presets, with wrap-around.
2) Search and will engage auto-searching,
with wrap-around
3) Tune and will engage tuning. if command received
for more than 1 second, auto-search is engaged; wrap around
4) Preset 1-9, 0: Allows direct entry of preset number. First send
desired number code, send Enter code to confirm. If preset is
empty, tuner will default to current status.
5) Enter: To confirm and engage preset number. Program small
macro with preset 1-9,0 and enter to gain direct preset access.
6) Power/Stand-by toggle: Switches tuner from On to Stand-by
and vice-versa. This code is also used on other remote
controlled products.
7) Power On: To avoid sync problems with other NAD products
also using the Power/Stand-by toggle, the C420 responds to
separate On code in addition; if already switched on, it will
remain on.
8) Stand-by: For same reason as above. If already in Stand-by
mode, it will remain so.
